PEERS + LEADERSHIP = LIFE SUCCESS
Programs In Partnership
COURAGEOUS QUEENS
Courageous Queens, founded by Lex Morgan and Emerging Triumphantly, LLC, is a year-long socio-emotional and character strengthening curriculum. Participating young queens in grades 6-12 are equipped with essential life skills to thrive in their lives, personally, academically, and professionally. A safe, empowering, and supportive environment is provided as they cultivate authentic connection with themselves and others. Young queens are encouraged to lean into fear, identify who they are, and honor their individuality and what makes them absolutely extraordinary.
SENIOR QUEENS
This initiative developed out of the success of Courageous Queens. Senior Queens makes our Courageous Queens program stand out from other mentoring programs. High school junior and seniors who started as Courageous Queens are taught how to serve as peer counselors for the younger participants in the program. Our first group of Senior Queens are now mentoring middle school students through the MCPS Student Internship Program.
THE ROYAL ELDERS
Research has shown that school success and attendance among at-risk youth have positive outcomes when parents and caregivers are connected to their academic and extracurricular activities. However, if the adults in the household do not fhave a successful connection to the school community, it can negatively impact their children's activities and homework assignments. Our Parent Initiative: The Royal Elders engages the parents and caregivers by empowering them with resource info and guidance to claim their role as an "Elder" in the lives of youth. Our Parent Initiative offers Parent and Teen Workshops and Coaching by a Certified Life Coach.
